Background;
I have a HP Pavilion dv5-1004nr laptop that failed and was set back to
HP. The fix was system board and hard drive replacement and of course,
they re-installed the OS.
Since getting the device back I have had issues getting it back to
where it was before it failed.
The last issue was a problem getting my Samsung SyncMaster external
monitor to display properly.
After several emails with HP Tech Support and updating the BIOS and
ATI, the monitor still does not work properly, so they suggested sending
me a disc set to re-install my OS.

My Question is - I have the HP Recovery disc set I created about 3
months after I bought this device. Will this recovery set re-install my
OS AND ANY DATA that was on the system when the discs were created (I'm
hoping to recover my Contacts)?
Thanks....
